Veterinary Preventive Medicine-II

PREVENTION AND CONTROL

• Strict sanitary measures 
  • Disinfection of the goat shed with 1-3% formalin, acids, caustic soda and virucidal disinfectants
• Caprination
  • The lymph from the vesicles is to be withdrawn and to be inoculated in the underside of tail or inner surface of the ear of young goat.
  • Alternatively, the lymph may be rubbed on scarified surface of the skin.
  • This will produce mild form of the disease and will protect against subsequent virulent attack
